I made a DIY Steam Wax Melter – extractor using: wall paper steamer, 2x ratchet straps, 2x old wooden beehive floor, varroa mesh and bee hive brood box. V high extraction rate (95%) and very easy to make. Only issue is the energy it uses – basically like boiling a kettle. Enjoy…. : ) I’ve just finished painting a Solar Wax Melter a friend helped me make – see link below from beesource website. I’ll upload the video of it working when I get it on site. www.beesource.com
Hello Melanie here, thanks for checking out my web page. I have been reviewing products online for some time. I pride myself in providing visitors and readers with completely unbiased and honest reviews. I also bring a depth of experience as a relatively new beekeeper myself to the review.
I am proud to say that I became a beekeeper in September 2010. I went on training courses and read many books so I have a real idea of what is needed for beekeeping for beginners and will give you an insightful and honest review.
There is a little bit more information on the 'about me' page.
Glad you like video. Actually, I no loger use the steam wax melter – as the solar wax melter I have made is far more efficient and can melt 28 super frames in one go. I will up load video so you can see it in action…
Mick – this is fantastic – I will defo have a go….I have today just moodied up a solar version which I have put a video on my account – but this seems the way to go. Greetings from Livno in Bosnia. Big Brian
